Whereas, when I've had to work away I've taken some comfort in known on the receipt it will typically give a rough location. Like Jasper's Kebabs, Blackburn, Liverpool, Oldbury whatever etc. That's the logic at least. But still worth querying as with a lot of this stuff there's multiple shades of grey it seems.

To come to think of it, it's probably wiser to err on the side of caution. My registered company address is my home address and it's in the same town as the office which I'm leasing to work from. I mean, I probably could scrape through if I was audited but it hardly seems worth the risk. Audit's do NOT sound fun.

Probably scrape through? A 3 quid meal that you'd eat at home anyway.. Ok then.
We've looked at the tax situation but the problems start in the first thread. There is a big difference between a perm person having perks and a one man LTD claiming on tax. Completely different things. Another example is training. We cannot expense new skills, so how do big companies cover re-training. They either don't claim the tax on it or they have different expemptions because of their size. You cannot compare what we do to what they do. You can buy all the sandwhiches you want, but can you claim the tax on them? That's a different question.
On a slightly side note if you are leasing an office then isn't that your main place of work now so can't claim expenses around it at all. Mileage, food nothing?Last edited by northernladuk; 15 December 2021, 19:03.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

If an employer provides free or subsidised meals to its employees or directors there may be relief from tax by exemption or deduction:- under the exemption in Section 317 ITEPA 2003 (see EIM21671), or
- where the meal is part and parcel of the employee or director travelling on qualifying business travel, or
- where the employee’s or director’s meal is part of business entertaining for which there is a matching deduction under Section 336 ITEPA 2003.
If none of these apply then, for employees and directors (except for 2015/16 and earlier those in an excluded employment (see EIM20007)), a benefits charge will arise'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
